Healthcare System Needs a Prescription of Competition - Privatize Medicare & Medicaid

It has never been more clear that our healthcare system is broken, as rising costs and shrinking choices are pushing more Americans out of the health insurance market.

Nowhere is this truer than for our nation’s bloated entitlement programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid. These programs cost American taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars, eating up funds that individuals could otherwise spend on their own care when and as they need it.

yea, because a profit based system worked so well until that damn Obama came along...Push em to the curb or pay for them, that is the choice.

We need total deprivatization with a UK style National Health Service.
Socialized medicine is the standard of the entire civilized world.

But we're a socially regressive nation--the LAST western nation to abolish slavery. In fact, Czarist Russia banned it before we did,

We have private, for-profit prisons. Right now, we seriously suck.

And the only patriots are the people who know that we suck and are trying to do something about it.

The "love it or leave it" idiots are the ones destroying America.

Socially we are 200 (well ok, maybe 60-70) years behind because of the social conservatives powered by big money republicans. Dupes, they are.

The NHS, where patients drink water out of potted plants to stay hydrated.

No thanks.

Worked fine for ME.

Since it's not my responsibility to give a shit about you or anyone else, I don't.

Obama abandoned single payer because it did not have the votes in the legislature. The ACA was all he could get passed. it was a start. But the Repubs do not care about the masses getting health care...or food. The ACA was a start. Trump is trying to wipe it out.

Great Britain's socialized system is considered the worst in Europe. All the other nations have privately owned and operated health care systems. Doctors, hospitals, medical supplies, drugs, are all for-profit operations using competitive non-profit insurance companies.

Six percent of prisoners are in for-profit prisons--the greedy government prisons want that money.

Well informed aren't you? All industrialized countries have universal health care. It has BETTER ,not worse results. It covers everyone which eliminated the need for the VA, Medicare and Medicaid. It takes away the mental stress of illness. It eliminates the threats of bankruptcy in case of a catastrophic illness or acciodent. It costs about half what we pay.

And people die because of it, dumb dumb.

Take away incentive and you get shit anything.

I don't care what a 'country' the size of Alabama is doing -- we have the best healthcare system in the world. Go give England or Cuba a shot and get back with me.

Add on to what the insurance companies profits would be,on to what Medicare and Medicaid cost and that would be the price of private system!

Insurance companies profits come before ,Americans having coverage!
That's the Republican plan.

If he didn't, as you claim, have the votes to pass single payer, he wouldn't have had the votes to pass the nonsense that did pass.

Ever notice how all of those that want what is somewhere else refuse to move to somewhere else? They want to force the rest of us to do it their way. What they're doing is the same thing as an unemployed person demanding a company move where he/she is rather than going to where the job is.

For my insurance, I pay zero in premiums and my out of pocket max/year is $1000. Are you telling me that what you support would cost me nothing to have and only $500 out pocket max/year?

There's an easy way to relieve that stress for those you claim to have it. Let them know you'll personally pay their bills.

There's an easy way for bankruptcies to cease. Let the people in that situation know you'll personally pay their bills.

My insurance coverage through a for profit system cost nothing in premiums to me with a max out of pocket of $1000/year. Are you saying you can do it at a lower cost?

 

[CFM]

That's the Republican plan.

I may be mistaken but I don't believe I've seen you personally offer to provide coverage to those that you say can't afford it.

Perhaps the Democrat plan, as usual, is to see what others you can force to fund it while taking credit as if it came out of your pocket.
